Happy new year Klaus,
The phrase "happy shooting" makes me to think about our frend Jakim,  Saying that I realize how mature is this site. Many thinks happened in past decades.


Best wishes,

Right. I was lucky to have caught the time when he was around, on Fred Miranda forums too.
Happy New Year!
Mine was greeted in a wonderful company.

Happy New Year to all of you, lenses aficionados!!! :-D

My resolution for 2020 is to reduce my GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)...

I started to consolidate my gear by selling a bunch of lenses (Panasonic 12-60 f3.5-5.6, Panasonic 35-100 f2.8, Fuji 18-55, Fuji 10-24, Fuji 23 f1.4)  and body (Olympus E-M10 II).

My kit is now:

• Panasonic GX9
  
• Panasonic GM5
  
• Olympus 12-100 f4
  
• Fuji X-T20
  
• Fuji 14 f2.8
  
• Fuji 18 f2
  
• Fuji 35 f1.4
  
• Fuji 56 f1.2
  
• Panasonic 12-32 f3.5-5.6
  
• Panasonic 14 f2.5
  

And the use cases:

Travel
Pany GX9 + Oly 12-100 f4 for most shooting situations
X-T20 + Fuji 35 f1.4 for DOF control scenarios (mostly portraits)
X-T20 + Fuji 14 f2.8 for wide landscapes (when 24mm equivalent is not wide enough)

Ultimate compact kit
Pany GM5 + Pany 12-32 or Pany 14

Compact kit with DOF control - normal FOV
Fuji X-T20 + Fuji 35 f1.4

Compact kit with (some) DOF [b]control - wide FOV[/b]
Fuji X-T20 + Fuji 18 f2

Hiking
Pany GX9 + Oly 12-100 f4

I have to say I'm very impressed by the Oly 12-100 f4 (received it last week). Given the range, the IQ is very impressive!

I don't see buying new gear in 2020, though of course sometime in February/March my 80D and 100-400 will probably come back to me.

Sadly Yakim Peled committed suicide a few years ago.
Sorry for the bad news...
If you want more bad news, economic situation in Lebanon is disastrous, we're in the middle of a huge economic crash, with sudden inflation I already lost 40% of my salary, my job itself is in serious danger, with a 2 years daughter and a newborn things don't look well....
